Man wanted in elevator shooting, Joe Biden arrives in Michigan, Ford recalls bite owners | Daily News Byte

TUESDAY NEWS HIT – There are reports of around 20 SUVs catching fire after leaking fuel – leading to Ford Motor Company’s latest recall.

Ford Motor Company is urging owners of 2020 through 2023 Bronco Sports and Escapes with 3 cylinder 1.5L engines to stop by their dealership to check for a potential cracked fuel injector.

The recall affects nearly 520,000 vehicles in the United States. Unfortunately for Williams, the other car he recently acquired was a Ford Escape.

Ford says that when the engine is running a cracked fuel injector can cause fuel or fuel vapor to build up near hot surfaces – possibly causing a fire under the hood.

“It’s a strange world we live in today,” Williams said. “I understand. We got rid of the F-150 because of gas prices, mainly. It was a lease, but it’s over. Gas prices are just eating away at us. I only have a six-mile roundtrip drive. going to work. . I can drive anything. But we work hard for our money, we want to be able to drive a car, the car we want.”

They can then take advantage of our complimentary pickup and delivery or a loaner to ensure the repair is completed at their earliest convenience.”

Meanwhile, Nancy said she might just keep looking for her next car.

“We’re absolutely keeping our options open at this point,” Williams said. “Thankfully, it’s just the two of us, and we’re flexible.”

Ford said it will update its engine control software to monitor the engine for alerts if the vehicle should be serviced.

Joe Biden coming to Michigan

The midterm elections may be over, but President Joe Biden remains on the road to push his economic agenda. He was visiting Bay City, Michigan, on Tuesday to highlight a $300 million expansion of a semiconductor manufacturing plant. The facility, operated by South Korean company SK Siltron, is expected to shift its production over the coming years.

A White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details ahead of Biden’s trip to Michigan, said the Democratic president’s remarks would go beyond semiconductor manufacturing, which has been a priority of his administration. Biden also plans to emphasize falling gas prices and efforts to protect access to abortion.

Biden will appear with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat who just won re-election in a closely watched race. Whitmer’s double-digit margin of victory over Tudor Dixon, a Republican who rejected the results of the 2020 election, darkened his standing within his party.

The president returned Sunday from Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he spent Thanksgiving with his family. Later this week, he will host French President Emmanuel Macron for the first state visit of his administration.

The Tigers acquired Cabrera in a blockbuster trade in December 2007 from the Florida Marlins. He is a 12-time All-Star, two-time American League MVP (2012, 2013), triple crown winner in 2012, four-time American League batting champion (2011–2013, 2015) and has a World Series championship from Marlins in 2003.

Hawaii’s Mauna Loa: What dangers does the world’s largest active volcano pose?

Lava shot 100 feet to 200 feet (30 to 60 meters) into the air as Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years.

At this time, the lava does not threaten any homes or communities and no evacuation orders have been issued. Lava will eventually reach neighborhoods as it flows down although it may take a week or more for the molten rock to reach populated areas.
